The commissioner added that other ministries would key into the project for data storage and collection. He also called on the company to ensure effective execution of the projection and adherence to the agreement while keeping to deadlines.
Ngwu while responding thanked the state Government and ministry for the opportunity given to carry out the project. He said “What I can promise is that Tedbridge , in conjunction with our partner, Thomson Reuters, will deliver not just on time but a high quality international standard upgrade. “We are not going to give you your C-of-O in months, but this is going to come in days by the time we are through with our job. If there is any emergency C-of-O that needed to come up and there is no problem of survey and property issues, other than creating the certificate, it can be gotten within hours”.
The managing director added that with the signing the MoU, the state Government has laid a solid base for social and economic transformation through massive land distribution.
